dr.gumbo Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 DATE CONFIRMED- You must post your ride by the end of the Month or it won't be counted! Since all of the other contests are coming to an end and my Track Tennis now out of my hands I thought Id release a new contest, so here it is. Happy Times Theme park is planning to build its first major coaster but there is one problem, they don't have much room. It's up to you to design them a ride that fits into this plot of land while offering a thrilling experience. Rule are as followed -Any type of ride can be used. -You can use 3d's -It can be as big as you want but it must pass the tunnel test. -The station can go anywhere. -The track cannot leave the area marked, supports and 3d's can leave the area but don't be stupid when doing so. -No track, supports or 3d's can go inside the pink box. -Have fun! People participating -Dr.gumbo -Dbru -jamjar -DATman -CoasterNut17 -Force 310 -Yankee cannonball -Liseberg4ever -jarmor -Sasquatch -esomabeli -thrillrideseeker -KrazyT -Scaparri -Ced -CCJared Any questions or queries are welcome!

DBru Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Okay, so do you have to pick one of the blue areas to build in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr.gumbo Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 You can use both, you can 'hop' over the pink bit to the other if you want. (look at it from the side) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yankee cannonball Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 I'm in, but I'll be completely separated from all technology besides a flashlight for the next week, so I might withdraw if I don't have enough time when I get back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasquatch Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Im so in! And just so everyone is clear, chain lifts CAN go round corners. For example, BMRX. Just so i dont get torn to pieces for my design lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarmor Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Im soooo in this contest! This is gonna be a challange because im not use to having restrictions on my designs so i'm up for it! Here's a teaser shot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr.gumbo Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 That looks fantastic, this is going to be a really interesting contest here. I think I'll have to drop out and just run it for two reasons 1-I've got exams coming up 2-I want to work on my other ride Good luck to everyone else!

jarmor Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Well i'm done with my coaster! I dont have any 3d's or anything cause this is a coaster contest right? It's not the longest coaster or anything but it's pretty cool and unique AND stays within the realm of reality. Here's another teaser shot showing what I like to call "decapitation" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esomabeli Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I'm in, but I may have to withdraw since NL is somewhat tempermental...if you know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarmor Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Well... since no one else wants to post any screenshots I guess i'll post some more... Zero-g roll! I pulled a color scheme out of my head but it looks like it works! Cobra and dive loop! With not much space to work with I designed the station plainly and trying to work on the exit path now. The park paid me a crap load to work this out! Yeah thats a LIM to slow it down just a tad for the haul back to the station... I decided to play around with some 3D's for the first time.
